I included this because the only mention of microtones
in NR 1/NR 2 (AFAICS) is rather buried in Note names in other
languages, with no heading to @ref to.


They're covered in Accidentals.  If the current material in there
isn't sufficient, we could add more...?
Anyway, @ref to Accidentals.


OK, found it.  I'll @ref to there and mention
quarter tones, which is the index entry I missed.

(As an aside, it's a pity we can't ref to index
entries.)


 I'm not certain if we need a separate subsubsection for instrument
 names.  Why not merge that with 3.5.3?

Agreed it is too short to remain on its own, but
it doesn't really belong in a section about \midi.
Maybe merging it into 3.5.1 would be better?


No objection here.


Done

GDP: NR 3

2008-07-17 Thread Trevor Daniels


NR 3 Input Syntax in GDP has been largely reorganised and several 
subsections redrafted.  Could you please review this for gross errors and 
omissions before we get down to detailed formatting and wording.


The sections which have been substantially modified are:

NR 3.1 Input Structure
NR 3.3 Working with input files
NR 3.5 MIDI output

NR 3.2 and NR 3.4 are virtually unchanged, but comments on these too are 
still welcome.


The section name Input syntax now seems a poor match to the contents. 
Perhaps Other notation might be better?  Views on this welcome.


As always, see the GDP docs at the GDP website:

I'm not certain about the order of .2 and .3.  IMO, there's three
parts of MIDI:
- basic setup (including tempo and instrument name)
- what's included in MIDI
- special cases (\unfoldRepeats, dynamics)

I don't mind having multiple subsections for each item in the
above list, but IMO they should still be found next to each other.

we have a section on World music it could be replaced by
a @ref to something there, but there's nothing suitable
yet.  Happy to do as you suggest as soon as there is a
suitable section on microtones elsewhere which I could
@ref to.

OK, I'll swap them over.  I agree it would be better.
